Triathlon Care Package?

One of my best friends is doing her first triathlon this weekend. I wanted to go and cheer her on, but it is out of state and I have a family thing on Sunday that I cannot get out of.

I want to stop by on Friday, before she leaves, with a care package for the weekend. What should I put in it?

Right now my ideas include: a box of pasta to carb load, dried fruit, possibly a few Quest bars, socks, a 'swim bike run' sticker for her car, maybe some Gatorade? Nothing too expensive, please.

    When I completed my first half marathon a friend gave me a care package it contained a bath bomb, scented candle, miniature bottle of wine and a small box of chocolates. Her plan was that I would need a nice long soak in the bath after the event and that I should enjoy it as much as I could. I must say it was one of the best soaks I have had and I knew I deserved it.

    Brilliant ideas! I know she loves champagne, maybe I'll include a small bottle for her post-race celebration!

    What a lovely idea! How about some muscle rub ointment (tiger balm or something similar) for the days after the Tri?
